From Jenny (re: drowning in Payday loans, need life jacket!) -

Hi everyone - I just went to my bank and explained the mess I have gotten into w/ pdl's . The manager I spoke with was helpful & was able to return $111 of the $450 some odd overdraft fees I accumulated due to pdl's. My account is still overdrawn by $34 so he wasn't able to close it (I may be able to deposit $35 tomorrow to bring the balance to positive standing. Yes, that's how broke I am right now!) and he suggested I call the Bank of America fraud department and file claims against the loan companies I have paid off that continue to withdraw money, and I may be able to get some $ back thru this.

My question is, has anyone filed fraud claims w/ their bank against pdl companies? Is it worth a try?

The rep at the bank said their fraud division will probably go ahead and waive the $34 and close my account if I go ahead and call them & explain my situation. He also opened a new checking account for me & said there is no way B of A will reopen my previous account to let ACH transactions go thru. There is also no way for the pdl's to get into my new checking account.


Quick question - I'm trying to calculate this. I took a pdl out with PayDayOK in November for $500. To date I have paid them $701 back. What is the amount that I legally owe them? Do I have the right to ask them to declare this one PIF? I viewed my account w/ them online and it says my principal amount is 300 and if I paid in full today it would be $312.86.
Can anyone calculate to see if I owe them anything else? I live in FL.

- Jenny
